LiontipsAtlanta vs Utah. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Atlanta managed to become the first team to beat Milwaukee in the current season. It was hard to believe in that result before the game, because Trae Young was unavailable for that match. But the Hawks managed to put up a strong offensive performance even without their leader. 25 points from Dejounte Murray and 24 points from AJ Griffin brought a 117:98 victory to Atlanta.
Young's injury turned out to be not that serious. He might return to action in the match against Utah.
Utah reached the top position in the Western Conference standings. A home victory over the Lakers (139:116) became a third consecutive one for the Jazz. Before that, Will Hardy's men had another victory over the Lakers (130:116). They also managed to beat the Clippers (110:102).
However, Utah Jazz are not as strong on away matches as they are at home. The Jazzmen recently had a streak of three consecutive away defeats.
